both are vascular connective tissues
Well, um..I have no idea, LOLOLOL
Both found in blood and both part of the immune system.
arteries take blood away from heart. veins take blood to the heart. capillaries have thin walls
Veins, capillaries and arteries is that they are all stops for blood.
To understand the structural similarities, one has to understand the functional similarities. The most obvious similarity is that they are both involved with transport via diffusion. So the structural similarities would be those that facilitate this. eg. thin epithelium, large blood supply.
Serum is in the blood vessels (circulating blood). Lymph is the plasma that diffuses through the arteries (used to be part of the blood) into the lymph system. Once it flows through the lymph system, it will rejoin with blood through veins.
Lymphocytes recirculate between the lymph and blood; so yes, they do.
The lymph
both are blood ways
Lymph comes from the interstitial fluids spaces in blood where interstitial fluid is found. Lymph is composed mainly of white blood cells.
lymph caries digested and absorbed fat from intestine and drains excess fluid from extra cellular space back into blood. Lymph is basically blood plasma without the blood cells, the fluid that is forced out of capillaries to clean and nourish cells. The part of it that does not return to the blood vessels is picked up by lymph vessels and eventually returned to the blood.
Yes! Lymph is an important part of the circulatory system. It helps maintain the fluid balance in blood by carrying fluid from extracellular environments into the blood stream (such as water, proteins, and other substances). Lymph also plays a primary role in one's immunity because it is rich in white blood cells (lymph nodes are also the sight for lymphocyte production, which remove microorganisms and other foreign materials by utilization of phagocytosis). The two main ducts that drain lymph into the bloodstream include: 1.) right lymphatic duct- drains lymph from upper right portion of body into the right subclavian vein. 2.) thoracic duct- drains lymph from the rest of the body to the left subclavian vein (just before it becomes the superior vena cava).
Lymph is basically the same as the plasma from the blood. Lymph is formed when plasma leaks out of blood vessels into the interstitial space.

Structurally: o They all have a capsule o They are rounded organs with an internal parenchyma of lymphoid cells o They are placed strategically about the body in order to maximally filter air/blood/lymph - see functional similarities Functionally: o All of these organs are involved in the immune system o Their role is to filter air/blood/lymph and expose the white blood cells within them to foreign material and thus activate the body's immune system
blood vessel bloodstream heart liver lymph lymph gland lymph node vein vena venation venous blood system venous blood vessel
when lymph fluid is contained inside lymph vessels or lymph node(lymphatic system) it is called lymph whereas when it is squeezed out of cells b/w the cell membranes it is called tissue fluid
